Currently, in Gecko nightlies with the HTML5 parser enabled, I get:
"FAIL (class attribute present - appendChild()ed script took too long to run) - PASS"
and the document never finishes loading.
The script says
"else if (!document.getElementsByTagName("P")[0].hasAttribute('class'))
s = 'FAIL (class attribute present - appendChild()ed script took too long to run)';"
The negation in the |if| condition doesn't match the message.
Furthermore, I don't see any part of the test setting or removing the class attribute.
Is the test now in the state that it is supposed to be in?

It's not necessarily good to let the SVG load event or XBL constructors to call document.write() even in the script-created case.
